Twin Rivers PD Has a New Acting Chief

Scott LaCosse is a retired Sacramento Police Captain and the second acting Twin Rivers chief in as many months.

Trinette Marquis with the Department says LaCosse spent three
years as Commander of the area that includes the Twin Rivers
district.

MARQUIS: "It's not ideal to have the number of transitions
that we've had in the leadership of the department. So, one
of the things that we could do is make sure this person had ties to
the community, understood the community as well."

Former Acting Chief Trang To requested a return to part time
duty. He is retired from the Sacramento County Sheriffs
department.

He launched an investigation of the Twin Rivers' department
after one officer was shot, another officer shot an unarmed man,
and the community complained about the department policing outside
its jurisdiction back in October.

Chief Christopher Breck has been on paid administrative leave
since November pending the results of that investigation.

Marquis says some information obtained in that investigation has
been turned over to the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and
Explosives and the Sacramento County District Attorney's
Office.

Acting Chief LaCosse will appear on the Capital Public Radio
program, "Insight" on Monday at 10 a.m.
